"This week seventh grade began working on personal budgets, family budgets, and developed their own personal budget charts. Using their SmartBoard technology and&nbsp;www.icivics.org, they examined data from different websites and debated what items should be kept and which should be cut from their budgets.&nbsp;Ultimately, the project progressed to the “People’s Pie” project where the class attempted to balance the United States’ national deficit.
